Books that May Properly be Called O,t

The Kennebec Journal and Somerset Re-
porter have been bringing out the old books
owned IN the State, and claiming the owner
ship of the oldest book alternately from
Augusta. Skowhegsn, Waterville, and again
from Augusta, producing books dated 1861 Ct,
1915 and 1903. If they have got through
overhauling their musty tones and this is the
best they can do, we will show to them that
these books for which they claim such age
are modern beside lots that are contained on
the shelves OF Bangor libraries. Why one
library alone, that of Prof. d. S Talcott,
contains at least twenty books bearing date
PRIOR to the year 1900. and yesterday we had
the pleasure of examining one printed four
hundred and fifteen years ago, in the year
l472, twenty years before Columbus
made the egg to stand on end, or
had gladdened his eyes with the sight of
America This book, indeed, is rare and
valuable document. 1t is book printed in
Latin, its title, simplifed, being Thomas
Avualnas de Veritste. II is a book of some
900 pages, as big as Webster's Unabridged
dictionary, printed on heavy paper, almost as
as heavy cartridge paper, and is printed in
the old style black letter, with initials and
parag apis illuminated by hand work. The
! book is boand in hog skin, wish thick bevel
! led covers mounted with brass, with heavy
clasps and originally having hook on the
back cover with which to hang 1t up. 1t is
| in fine state of preservation and has been
owned BY Prof Talcott fifty, three years.
Now if our friends on the keBnebec have
got any real old books, if they will bring
them out we will look again and see whether
We can match them. Bangor Wing.

supposition that the government appropris-

The article IN the JOURNAL of May 20
did me very great injustice. These are
the facts: On Sunday, the LIST of May,
DR.. Rheinfrank came to my house and
left word that Mrs. Cunningham had
just died, and that was wanted at
once. He said that he was present at
her death, and that her husband had
requested him TO send an undertaken.
was not at home at the time. but went
down to MIR. Cunninghams rs soon as
received the message. asked Mr.. G..
if he had sent for me. He answered,
"Yes, sir, DIR. Rheinfrank recommended
you" ! had the body nearly prepared
for burial when Mr.. Clegg came. Up
to this time l had not seen Mr.. Clegg,
neither had anyone spoken OF him. Mr..
Cunningham came to me then, and
asked me to tell Mr.. Clegg that he did
not wanted. | told Mr.. Clegg what
Mr. Cunningham requested me to say.
After had finished my work and had
left instructions for the night, and was
leaving the house, Miss Cunningham
said to me that there had been a mis-
take; that her father was afraid that
DIR. Rheinfrank would forget 10 go for
an undertaken, and had himself gone
for Mr.. Clegg before had arrived, and
they did not know what to do about it.
This was news to me. i told her that /
had come there in good faith, and was
justly entitled to finish what had be-
gun, but if they wished to discharge
me should of course charge for the
services which had already performed,
Miss G. wrote note asking me TO de.
liver IL, of which this is a COPY: "Mr.
Clcgg, please do not come down, we
have employed Mr. Crook"
then left the house. At the front
gate met woman who told me that ]
was not wanted. told her II / was not
would not come back. She went into
the house, and after fifteen minutes
came and told me that Mr.. Cunningham,
would be much obliged il ] would not
do any more. At my request, lady
who stood by went into tho house with
me, and | quietly gathered together
what / had left there and withdrew.
To send for one undertaken and go in
person for another was blunder which
placed more than one party In an awk-
ward and embarrassing position. The
malicious attack made upon me In the
JOURNAL adds insult to injury, and was
done with purpose and for an object
which does not lie very far below the
surface. w. CROOK.
